Hammam al-Sarah

Description

This site, situated few kilometers from the main Umayyad residence of Qasr al-Hallabat, had a bath with an audience hall similar to that of Qusayr ‘Amra, and a garden area surrounded by a perimeter wall. In the middle of the garden, there was a fountain, whose stone basin has been preserved. The same water supply system, consisting of a well, a noria, and a water reservoir, supplied both the bath and the garden.

The palace was surely abandoned after the defeat of the Umayyads in 750.
